The ability to deliver a class-above experience with peerless value has earned the Kia Telluride myriad accolades, including being named an Edmunds Top Rated vehicle and garnering three consecutive inclusions on Car and Driver's coveted "10Best" list (2020, 2021, 2022). Drivers from Ridgefield to New Milford can find the 2023 Kia Telluride here at Danbury Kia.
Performance
While it may be Kia's largest model, the Telluride is surprisingly easy to drive, exhibiting stable handling, accurate steering, and ample internal motivation. A 3.8-liter V-6 spins front wheels with 291 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque, while an 8-speed automatic transmission provides smooth and precise gear changes for optimal responsiveness and efficiency. If you're seeking more surefooted handling away from the asphalt or during a wintry Dutchess County commute, you can get an Active On-Demand All-Wheel Drive system with AWD Lock and Snow Mode as standard for X-Line, X-Pro, and SX Prestige models an optional for all other tiers. Properly equipped, the Kia Telluride can tow up to 5,000 pounds.
Interior and Utility
The Kia Telluride offers a classy and capacious cabin adorned with modern design details, quality materials, and seats that provide long-distance comfort. It accommodates up to eight passengers in its standard configuration. However, if your family doesn't need the final seatbelt, you can enhance the feeling of openness and get easier third-row access with optional second-row captain's chairs. Standard comfort/convenience amenities include Smart Key proximity entry, SynTex leatherette upholstery, tri-zone automatic climate control, and a Driver Talk cabin PA/intercom system. Available niceties include leather upholstery, heated and ventilated first and second-row seats, and dual sunroofs.
The Kia Telluride reserves 21 cubic feet for storage behind the third row, expandable to 46 cubes with the rear seats folded. For errands or adventures requiring maximum carrying capacity, you can fold all rear seats to access 87 cubic feet.
Infotainment and Driver-Assist Technologies
The 2023 Kia Telluride upgrades its infotainment system with a standard 12.3-inch touchscreen with advanced navigation. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto seamlessly integrate useful features like hands-free calls and messages, streaming media, your phone's assistant, Google or Apple Maps, and more via a familiar smartphone-like interface. With the Kia Connect app, you can use your phone to remotely access your Telluride to start/stop the engine, lock/unlock the doors, and even pre-set the climate controls so that the cabin is already at an ideal temperature when you're ready to go.
Since your family's safety isn't just an optional feature, the Kia Telluride comes standard with a comprehensive suite of Kia Drive Wise technologies, giving you more confidence, convenience, and peace of mind no matter which tier your choose. All Telluride models equip driver aids like:
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection
- Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control-Curve with Stop & Go
- Highway Driving Assist
- Lane Following Assist
- Lane Keeping Assist
- Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist-Rear
